Past Jose: Yorktown's Work Week Weather

SOMERS, NY — Now-Hurricane Jose is expected to pass to the southeast of the area late Tuesday night into Wednesday as a tropical storm, according to the National Weather Service. And while there's a chance of high winds, our region probably won't be getting the impact folks will see and feel on Long Island and in southern Connecticut.

"Locally in the Hudson Valley, it looks like we’ll be on the fringe of any effects of Jose," said Bill Potter of Hudson Valley Weather. "A few scattered rain showers are possible on Tuesday, but most of the region likely will remain dry. In terms of winds, NE winds of 5 to 15 mph and gusts to 30 mph are expected… but the strongest of those will be in the SE parts of the Hudson Valley."

The rest of the work week will be, well, summery.

It may be warmer than normal.

In fact, energy demands may go higher as people turn air conditioners and fans back on, according to AccuWeather Long-Range Meteorologist Max Vido. (To get neighborhood stories like these every day, SIGN UP for Patch’s Daily Newsletter and Real Time News Alerts.)
